The location of this hotel is excellent for shopping and even though it is very central, it is still a quiet hotel with no traffic or tram noise which is unusual in Melbourne. The service was excellent from the valet parking and welcome at the door to the check in/out.
We had a Queen studio room which was a very good size. The room had a couch which was really nice to be able to sit on a couch rather than a bed or a side chair. A small kitchen area which was a bonus if I was staying for a longer period, rather than overnight. Bathroom was well appointed but looked like it needed a bit of updating and I have never liked the shower over bath idea. So the bathroom was a bit disappointing.
Although the room was very nice and service was excellent I personally dont like hotel rooms that look out to the wall of the building next door. But unfortunately that is a common problem with inner city hotels and cant be changed.

Well where do I start! We booked the romance package for our 2nd wedding anniversary and we were totally amazed with the service we recieved! The room was perfect and the atmosphere was certainly romantic :)
Looking for an excuse to go back soon! Well done Stamford plaza, your defintally in our top list of places to stay!

From moment you arrive at curb, treated well. Staff excellent. Nothing was a problem. Had booked one bedroom apartment but paid reduced price to upgrade to 2 bedroom. Great having the second room and bathroom. Spacious. Apartment had basic kitchen if you wanted to eat in. Nicely decorated but did finding lighting a little low. TVs in each bedroom and also lounge. Lovely and clean. Had safe, gowns. Didn't eat there as lots of options close by. Didn't get to pool/gym either. Try "famished" salad bar down the road for lunch, great food. Would definitely stay here again - great location.

Stayed here on Fri 8th Feb for 1 night. Stay went well until we had a wait of 35mins outside for our car to come out of valet!! We told the doorman when we came out he said shouldnt be too long. We also told reception at check out and they told us our car will be sent down. It was shame as ended up a bad experience at end of stay. They did apologise but in most 5 star hotels your car comes out of valet within minutes, sometimes waiting for you!!
